Interviews on 5/2/22 with 1 out of 1 staff, indicated that she never witnessed anyone getting bruised or hurt at the day care. The staff stated every time you turned around a group of siblings were fighting but staff were always present, intervening and supervising them. Interviews on 5/2/22 with 3 out of 3 children indicated that staff were always present and that no fighting has been observed. Interviews on 5/4/22 and 5/6/22 with 7 out of 7 witnesses indicated that the siblings involved in the alterations have a prior history of being physical while under supervision. None of the witnesses expressed concerns with the licensee and lack of supervision being provided, other then witness 7 who indicated that the licensee or staff were only present for some of the incidents. The LPA has determined that though some altercations have occurred between children in care, the staff is generally, present and intervening, however, the LPA could not rule out that there may have been a time when the licensee or assistant may have been focused on addressing another issue and did not intervene for every incident. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred, and the findings are unsubstantiated. A Notice of Site Visit shall be posted for 30 days.
